Pros

Great benefits, lots of emphasis on wellness, health, healthy food in cafeteria, diversity and inclusion, employee surveys, flexible working is encouraged, easy hours, great if you have a long commute and a family. Great for young people.

Cons

Static management structure, hard to get promoted, hard to get recognition for making money for the company as they are more interested in networking and politics. Easy to get lazy as there is little incentive to perform. Goals are a mystery. Not great for ambitious senior staff - they do not stick around.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
